Yours sounds good Orema and would work just fine for Paleo if a good Paleo mayo is used.

Here is a recipe for a citrus vinaigrette that I use sometimes that may work nicely with that salad too.

1 small shallot, finely chopped
¾-cup olive oil
¼ cup champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
¼ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest



Put everything in a jar with lid and shake to blend

Add Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Make about 1 1/2 cups



You can make your own champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar ahead of time, or you can use ACV but I find that to be a bit to strong for this recipe.



White wine vinegar: Buy an el cheapo white wine, seriously think $2-$3 range, and pour it into a canning jar, add some of the mother from some ACV, cover the opening with a little cheesecloth just to keep the dust out and wait a couple of weeks. You'll find that a lot of vinaigrettes use this.

I eat more low carb than paleo, so this fits me. I drizzled the dressing over the salad and it was excellent. Wish I had made more.

I would also try plain olive oil or sesame seed oil.

I'd love to know what others would use ....
